obunoqjrtsw diruloo oi lb owmjl the editors cornet an appeal it will take 10000000 to meet all the com- rnifmcnt of the canadian red cross for 1 943 in a na tionwide drive commencing march 1st the canadian red cross i asking every canadian to give and give again there u no worthier cause there if no phase of warfare to which the red croat does not contribute a mercy measure to alle viate hardship foremost in our mind at the moment is a moving appeal made by one of our local boys taken prisoner in the dieppe raid who in a letter to his mo ther beseached her to never turn the red cross from ber door reading between the lines of his censored communications it did not take much imagination to realize that without the food parcels sent each week he would go hungry what does it cost for such food parcel appro- admately 250 to lay down each parcel in geneva switzerland all the packing is done by women volun teer this it becoming one of the largest expenditures of the red croat as you can well imagine when you know that some z million parcels have been sent to prisoners of war including men from other parts of the commonwealth than canada to date it is the intention to allocate for this form of relief about 3500000 out of moneys to be raised in the approaching campaign a tremendous volume of work has already been accomplished more than 20000000 articles of com forts and supplies have gone out to our armed forces suid suffering civilians greece chirm and our other allies have asked for help and received it russia in ber valiant fight has reason to be grateful for two million dollars worth of medual and other supplies for warded by the red cross she is still in urgent need of this help so is china and the other powers which the evil triumvirate is trying to grind under the heel of op pression and we must not torget the efficient system of clinics which the red cross has built up through which donors of blood all over canada can mnkc a useful contribution to the relief of people suffering from wounds and sickness georgetown has had two oppor tunities to make her contribution so this appeal and has responded exceptionally well a lot has been already accomplished but the need goes on and on as long as the horrors of war are with us the big push is coming this year our boys boys from georgetown and district who had their first taste of battle at dieppe will form the spearhead of attack so we are told theyll need the help of the red cross in their hour of need so when the red cross canvasser calls on you in the next few weeks open your purse strings in the name of humanity i any mail we might term any mail for me today the question of the day for most families letters from loved ones far away have become the focal point in the live of many of us how anxiously we await word of how they are faring and how eagerly we scan the pages ior every littile detail the art of letterwriting has been a lost art for many years hurriedly scribbled thankyou notes for gifts invitations congratulatory notes and bread and butter letters have been about the limit of the efforts of most of us in the past now however its a different story we wrack our brains to recall incidents which may interest him we take mental note of certain happenings so that we wont fail to tell him about them then we sit down and ry to coordinate our thoughts into u cheerful newsy letter it takes practice to write a letter which will bring a little bit of home to the man in uniform far away just for he lack of that practice great many friendships have fallen by the wayside because some people claimed they just couldn t write letters with the revival of letterwriting by the time the war ends wriing ugood letter will give just as much pleasure to the writer s to the recipient letters the more the better have long been re cognized as the best tonic for morale on both fronts so keep on mailing them let the answer to the question for the day be yes anniversary reflections thi week it our birthday the third onni- venary for the publication of the herald under our management when anniversaries come we all feel the sensation to look back over the preceding

particularly our rural correspondents wc give our sincere thnuks for helping to make the herald what it is their faith ful recording of the news in their localities is a worth while tnbk which they perform because they have the community spirit which makes a town worth living in we owe a great deal to our rural correspondents on the threshold of a new year our greatest wish is that the herald will continue to merit the loyal rapport it has enjoyed in the past war time is a time which atrewa our path with unforaeen problems and difficulties through them all it will remain our hope and
